��Greek, in 1752 stayed at Nork House, and describes at length the ingenious waterworks by which water was raised from a very deep well and distributed over the slopes of a dry down.

Record is found of a capital messuage at Burgh in 1345." In 1432 Beatrice widow of Thomas Hayton held part of the site of the manor as dower, her portion including two high rooms and two low ones in the south part of the hall (aula), a third part of the kitchen, of the ' Baggehous ' and of the oven, two gerners, a barn, a stable covered with tiles, parts of buildings called the ' Sidyrhous,' the ' Wrenge- hows,' and the 'Wellehous,' with a third of the garden opposite the hall and various other inclosures." 1

The later house was probably built by William Merland, who held the manor from 1598 to 1614. It is said to have been a Jacobean house. In the windows were the arms of the Buckles. It was pulled down by the late Lord Egmont about twenty-five years ago.

A manor called LITTLE BARROW was held in demesne as of fee by Thomas Barowe in the 1 5th century." 3 By his will Katherine, a daughter of William Broke, was to receive the issues and profits of the manor for 28 years after his death, or, if she married, they were to be delivered to her husband. Barowe enfeoffed Thomas Wode to carry out these provisions. Katherine married James Warner, who received all issues from 1473 until 1486, when, by agreement, he sold them to John son and heir of Thomas Barowe. 114 John then brought a suit against Thomas Wode, who refused to be party to the trans- action, 115 but the result is not apparent. Manning states that a rental of 1531 gives Richard Covert as lord of this manor, his son George afterwards holding. According to the same authority, Christopher Buckle of Burgh held in i66i. 116 The manor of Little Barrow afterwards descended with Burgh (q.v.), with which it is at present held.

The manor of PERROTTS in this parish belonged in the 1 6th century to the family of Charlwood. The earliest court of which record exists was held in 1447."' In 1515 Nicholas Charlwood sold it to John Lam- bert of Woodmansterne, who possibly was connected with the family of Lampet, Lomputte, or Lampert, who were settled in Banstead in the 1 4th century. 118 It descended from John Lambert, the pur- chaser, to Roger his second son, who married Kathe- rine Causton. Roger, the eldest son of Roger, sold the manor to the second son John, the quit-claim being made in 1573.'" John the eldest son of this John

��married Katherine Moys of Canons (q.v.). He was Marshal of the Hall to King James I, and fought for King Charles. To escape sequestration of his estates he conveyed Perrotts to a younger brother Edward. 110 It afterwards passed to the latter's fifth son Daniel, who purchased it from his elder brother Nicholas. 121 Thomas eldest son of Daniel sold the manor to his brother Daniel, the third son, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1741, and was knighted in I743. 1M He died without issue in 1750, leaving Perrotts to his nephew, also named Daniel, who died in 1765.'" The manor is still in possession of this family. Mr. Daniel Henry Lambert, son of the late Benjamin Lambert, of Well House, at present holds. The last court was held about 1866, the last copyhold tenant, Mr. Bonsor, M.P., enfranchised not long since; only a bare seignory therefore remains to the lord. 1 " The manor-house mentioned in a deed of 1680 as having been recently rebuilt stood on the slope facing Rydon Hill. It was pulled down about 1760, when the family moved to the Well House in Banstead.

The first mention of the manor of PRESTON occurs in 1316-17, when John de Chetwode, sen., settled it on himself for life with remainder to his son John and Lucy his wife and their heirs. 1 " Almost a century pre- viously a Ralph de Chetwode had held io/. rent in Burgh, so it is probable that the family had long been holding land in Banstead. 1 ' 6 In 1 346 Sir John de Chetwode, kt., and Lucy his wife, settled the manor on Nicholas, apparently their son, and Elizabeth his wife. 1 " In 1 384 John de Bures was said to hold a cottage at Burgh of Thomas Hayton as of the manor of Preston. 118 Hayton, however, who after- wards held Burgh (q.v.), did not die seised of Pres- ton ; lw probably, therefore, he was a trustee for the Chetwode family, or held the manor for a term of years only, as, according to Manning, Sir Thomas Chetwode, grandson of Nicholas, afterwards held the manor, and in 1473 his sister and heir Elizabeth, then wife of William Woodhall, released it to Richard Illyngworth and others, trustees for Henry Merland. 1M Richard son of Henry Merland died seised of the manor in 1 506, holding also that of Burgh, 1 ' 1 and the two manors have since been held together." 1

William de Braose, lord of Bramber, held Tadorne (NORTH T4DWORTH)m 1 086 as half a hide,Halsart being his tenant ; Godtovi had held it of King Harold and could seek what lord he pleased. 133 In the early 1 3th century William Haunsard held a fee in Book- ham and Tadworth of the honour of Brembre

118 In 1086 Adam on of Hubert held a house in Banstead, and he also held of the bishop one hide in Wallington Hundred, which had never paid geld. This hide may probably be added to the 29 of Banstead to make up the usual round number, and is very probably Little Barrow or Burgh. V.C.H. Surr. i, 303-14.
